Question 12708 — waste

Summary

Ms. Colette Capdevielle draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the consequences of the crisis in the extended responsibility sector of the producer of textiles, household linen and shoes (REP TLC) on resource centers and recycling centers. For more than a year and a half, resource centers, associations which, along with other players, provide the ESS manages more than 70% of the collections and sorting of used TLC, more than half of which they reuse, sees used textiles accumulating in their structures, due to a lack of buyers. Indeed, for multiple known reasons - including the inability of the eco-organization Refashion to support them - the sorting operators are no longer able to come and recover the deposits in the resource centers, which puts the associations which collect textiles in great difficulty even though this represents on average 30% of the “turnover” of a resource center. Concretely, this translates into the temporary cessation of collections or the capacity to accommodate the public in certain structures for lack of outlets; by an insurance or even health risk when there is more textile stored than permitted by regulations; by additional storage and transport costs, or even additional costs when you have to pay the buyer to come or send it to incineration. These financial costs are borne by these associations. Added to this are the malfunctions of the eco-organization's free take-back system. Resource centers, associations anchored in local life, which create non-relocatable jobs for people far from employment and which carry out awareness-raising actions on the issues of ecological transition find themselves weakened by this crisis, in a context of strong budgetary tension. She therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take so that used textiles are evacuated and so that financial compensation for the costs incurred can be provided, in addition to the reform of the specifications in progress in which the resource centers are fully engaged.
